Vinny Curry re-signs with New York Jets after rare blood disorder caused him to miss last season

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- When veteran defensive end Vinny Curry announced last August that he'd have to miss the season due to a rare blood disorder that required the removal of his spleen, he promised to return in 2022. And now he has.

Curry, who turns 34 on June 30, re-signed with the New York Jets on Wednesday, the team announced. In a video posted on the team's official Twitter page, an excited Curry declared, "I'm back, baby. I'm ready to take flight and kick some ass on the way."

There was serious concern about Curry last summer.
